Stylin’ with Ian Poulter in Orlando

IAN POULTER SHOWED ME a lot last year. After the cover story in which he said it will be just me and Tiger, the Englishman played his plaid pants off. I was impressed.

A nice finish at The Open Championship helped earn Poulter a much-debated Ryder Cup team captain’s pick from Nick Faldo. Then “Poults” tore it up at Valhalla, posting a 4-1-0 record for the European team.

I’m going to the PGA Merchandise Show next week in Orlando, and Ian’s people sent me an invitation:

“Join Ian Poulter as he hosts a fashion show to launch his next Ian Poulter Design Collection.”

Style is not in my tool kit. Like a lot of guys, I get by. Barely. Maybe I’ll join Ian. All I have to do is RSVP. There’s also this:

“We will also have a small amount of interview time with Ian in the afternoon….”

I’d love to ask Ian something about golf even though he’s there to talk about his new design collection. I’ll let you know how it turns out.−The Armchair GolferGOLF BRIEFS

I like Poulter. Everybody out there has a good game and has to do something to get noticed. Poulter does it with his flair for clothes, whether the correct term would be fashion is debatable, but he has cattle to go along with his boots and pony.

Rev: That's too bad, but I won't know since I haven't been. It still sounds like a pretty big deal to me.

Lancer: I like Poults, too. He really proved he can play last year. I know he was a good player before that, but last year he rose to the occasion when people didn't believe. He had a great, great Ryder Cup.
